He
has installed a large stone and steel
sculpture as part of the city of Tempe
Art in Public Spaces Program.
One
of these projects was a series of paintings
inspired by, but not replicating, petroglyph
motifs: re-translating these images in
paint on canvas, taking liberties with
both color and form.
He
is self-employed as an environmental consultant
and an artist. He works on private commissions
and also sells his artwork in various
gift stores and galleries.
